What a difference 57 years makes juxtaposition of Autobianchi A112 Runabout, 1969, by Bertone, and Bertone Runabout Targa, 2026. The Autobianchi Runabout was designed by Marcello Gandini, using a mid-mounted 54hp Fiat 128 engine and gearbox, taking inspiration from racing speedboats. The configuration made it a prototype for the Fiat X1/9 of 1972. Bertone has reprised the Runabout’s styling for a new limited-edition supercar that has been revealed in production form at the Retromobile Show in Paris. Production will be limited to 25 units, based on a Lotus platform, with the same mid-mounted 468hp Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre supercharged V6 as the Lotus Exige, and prices starting at €390,000 (around $460,000).
